Anger is angry, but there is no escape.

The henchmen were overjoyed and shouted out together: "Lord Song, we have captured Ma Muye, and we will send the criminal out to you." ”

The rest of the army leaders were dumbfounded: some of them had the same thoughts, but they didn't do it when they saw that Ma Muye was protected by these henchmen and was not sure.

I didn't expect ...... On the path of traitors, there are always peers!

Song Zheng smiled slightly and nodded to Qin Shi: "Good job." ”

Qin Shi bowed: "Ma Muye is greedy and mean, he is not lenient to his subordinates, and his henchmen only follow him for the sake of power." As soon as he fell, no one wanted to bury him. ”

After a while, the seven or eight henchmen came out with Ma Muye, and handed them over to Song Zheng along with the account books that Ma Muye was carrying.

Song Zheng looked at the account books and said to the henchmen of the "meritorious service": "You wait for everything in the past to be written off, and this official has made a promise: I will not blame the past!"

The men were visibly relieved.

Song Zheng knew that he had only promised not to blame the past, but it would definitely be impossible to use them again in the future. In a few years, I will definitely find an opportunity to send them to the north or the south, and fight hard with the demon clan.

For others in the army, Song Zheng was not so lenient.

Surrounded by the rebel army leaders, he entered the camp in Beishan, and after a cursory look, he shook his head again and again. Except for the personal soldiers of the military leaders, the rest of the army equipment is really extremely crude.

Originally, the ordnance that the imperial court clearly stipulated that it needed to be equipped was only some empty shells, and the real goods were sold by Ma Muye.

Song Zheng secretly wondered in his heart: 500,000 cultivators in the Beishan battalion, and the ordnance replenished every year is a huge number, so many standard magic weapons, who did Ma Muye sell to?

He had a vague feeling that the problem was probably more serious than he expected.

So he gave a low order, let Qi Bingchen be responsible for cleaning up the Beishan camp, and at the same time opened the Peerless Soul Card and released the three thousand puppet soldiers.

As soon as all the puppet soldiers came out, they opened their breastplates and exposed the "Tianmen Mirror". Just this shocked the entire battalion.

Song Zheng originally didn't want to expose the army in his hands, but now he wanted to calm down the affairs of the Beishan camp as soon as possible and gain time to find out Ma Muye's problem, so he had to use it as a thunderbolt method.

Under the protection of Lu Wanmin and Sun Zhifei, he entered Ma Muye's Chinese army tent, which was simple, and Ma Muye, who loved money like his life, looked very "simple".

He spread out those account books, and with his Yin God cultivation, all the account books were clear at a glance. Then, he activated the Zhou Tian Secret Spirit - this heavy treasure only has some functions available, and there is not much time left before the self-improvement is completed.

Under the analysis of Zhou Tian's secret spirit, Song Zheng looked in a cold sweat.

Since Ma Muye was named "General Ningyuan" fifty years ago, he has been in charge of the Beishan camp.

In the first few years, he only dared to eat some empty salaries, and then retired the old ordnance early, applied for new ordnance from the military department, and sold the old ones that could still be used.

But in the past thirty years, Ma Muye's courage has become more and more great, and the Beishan battalion has 500,000 military registrations registered in the imperial court, but the number of cultivators in the battalion is only 100,000!

The remaining 300,000 yuan of silver was embezzled by Ma Muye and his military leaders.

Ma Muye alone has eighty percent of the total! Only two components are given to his subordinates, so it is no wonder that once something happens to him, his subordinates will immediately turn back.

In addition, the number of various ordnances and combat equipment allocated by the Ministry of War to the Beishan battalion every year is about 100,000 pieces, but the Beishan battalion has not replaced any standard magic weapons for decades, and these ordnance are all sold by the military leaders led by Ma Muye.

From the account books, Song Zheng found out that the person who handled the reselling of ordnance for Ma Muye was Fei Minglou, the secretary of the Beishan camp. He gave an order: "Bring Fei Minglou over." ”

......

The Queen Mother likes to sit alone in a huge palace, not a palace maid, not a eunuch. She will put on a phoenix robe, drop the palace lamps around her, and leave only one by her side, enjoying this feeling of "being alone", which is the feeling of the most powerful power in the world.

She does it when she's in a good mood, and she does it when she's in a bad mood.

Today's battle is not very important, after all, it is not a moment of life and death, even if she loses, she is still the most powerful person in Hongwu.

But today's battle is of great significance, and it will be the first defeat of Song Zheng since he entered the Beijing Division. She and Huang Yuanhe have a tacit understanding that they must break the myth of Song Zheng's "undefeated".

So far, this myth has only been confined to the castle. The magnates of the Jingshi have not yet realized that in fact, since Song Zheng was in Jiangnan, he has not lost!

If they further realize this, it will be a very serious tilt in the "people's heart" - for the superiors, the people's heart of the magnates is the real people's heart, what the people think, does it matter?

This is the cultivation realm, and everyone believes in the "Great Fortune", which will make many people secretly bet on Song Zheng.

But the battle began to deviate from their expectations. The Queen Mother sat upright in the palace, but her mind flickered like the candle flame around her, and she wanted to stretch out her hand and take it in the air, and beat the ancestors of Jiangnan!

Don't look at Zhong Boke's peak ancestors in all directions, it seems that they are incomparable, but she has the ability to destroy them with one blow.

But she sighed softly and said to the figure in the darkness behind her, "Don't press me, I know what to do." ”

A trace of Hui Yigong's divine thought was weaker than nothing, floating in the sky above the imperial city - the Queen Mother could feel all kinds of emotions from this trace of divine thought. There is a commitment to Song Zheng, there is disgust with the sins committed by the Holy Sect, and there is dissatisfaction with his own Ji Si Chen......

If he really let Huiyi choose based on his personal preference, he would undoubtedly choose Song Zheng, even if Song Zheng failed, Huang Yuanhe, who was a Wenxiu Zhenguo, would have more advantages than her.

"Hmph!" the Queen Mother snorted coldly in dissatisfaction: "Can't a woman hold the power of the world?"

But she can't make a move, she can't give Hui Yigong an excuse to make a move. The dark shadow behind her said, "Although we guess that even if you make a move, the probability of Hui Yigong blocking it is about sixty percent, but we can't take the risk.

The Holy Sect has been dormant for many years, and it has become a prairie fire, we just need to fight steadily, and this world must be ours. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "I know." ”

Huiyi Gong may not interfere with it, so as not to make the entanglement between himself and Hongwu even deeper. But as a senior Zhenguo, he is one of the top existences in the world. It has reached the level of "following the word" in the true sense of the word. He made a promise, and he is more likely to keep it.

The Queen Mother didn't dare to bet.

She looked outside the Jingshi City again, and saw that on the ground, the army was like water, and the strong cultivation of the Holy Sect quietly retreated, and she couldn't help but curse: "Waste!"

"That's our rubbish, too. The Shadow said, "Prepare to meet them." As long as he enters the imperial city, it will be safe, and no matter how bold Song Zheng is, he will not dare to let Long Yiwei rush into the imperial city. ”

Before his words fell, he suddenly sensed something, and turned his head in surprise: "Heavenly Master Sword Gate......! How could it be ......" and then roared: "Ah...... I hate it!"

Huang Tianli's strong cultivation in the battle outside the city was actually not a big loss, they were not like the Saibeiti camp needed to fight to the death, as soon as they saw that the situation was not right, they naturally retreated, they knew that as long as they entered the imperial city, they would be safe, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates would not dare to prevent them from returning to the capital division.

But he didn't expect that just after returning to the capital division, the sword cultivators of the Heavenly Master Sword Gate suddenly appeared from all directions, blocking them outside the imperial city.

At the same time, in the Jingshi City, a Doe Array rose up, sealing the loophole blocked by the Heavenly Master Sword Gate!

The Queen Mother and the Black Shadow reacted in an instant: "Admiral of the Nine Gates!"

The Admiral of the Nine Gates is responsible for the guard of the entire Beijing Division, in addition to the large array of protecting the city, there are also various strange arrays and spirit arrays in many key positions in the city. After all, this is the capital division, and the defense is far stronger than the average city.

The Admiral of the Nine Gates is a person from Huang Yuanhe, but at this time, he suddenly pitted Huang Tianli Holy Sect, of course, it was the instruction of Lord Shoufu!

Subsequently, the Jiangnan ancestors led their monks to kill, and they attacked back and forth, and the strong cultivation of the Huang Tianli Holy Sect almost did not escape. This time the losses were heavy.

Huang Yuanhe secretly congratulated himself in the mansion: although the plan failed, the old man made a decision immediately, and the loss of Huang Tianli's Holy Sect was far above his own.

As for Song Zheng, who won, what can he do if he wins, he is not a strong person in the town country after all. is the weakest of the three forces, and he and the Queen Mother, even if they are weakened, they are still far superior to him.

What was lost was only face, but it was able to greatly weaken the power of the Queen Mother, and this time the plan was actually more rewarding than the original goal.

Next, it is time to really start discussing the alliance between the two parties with Song Zheng and the plan to resist the Queen Mother.

......

Lie Beitao and Mao Zhengdao sat together in the Lanyue Building.

The Lie family had already made a decision, and the clan elders voted together to remove his father from the position of head of the family, as a sign of the break between the Lie family and Song Zheng.

In the eyes of the sect elders, this is "self-preservation by breaking the tail", but in Lie Beitao's view, this is downright stupidity.

In this way, the Lie family can be kept and not hated by the Queen Mother and Huang Yuanhe? They will keep every detail of life in mind, and when necessary, they can retrace their memories and restore everything.

The Lie family has offended the two Zhenguo, if the Zhenguo wants to investigate, just a thought, he will not forgive the Lie family for having "broken the tail".

The only chance for the Lie family is to stand with Song Zheng completely and fully support Song Zheng's victory.

And the elders of the sect think they are smart, and they are still "observing words and feelings", waiting for the Queen Mother and Lord Shoufu to have a "response", if necessary, they will completely expel Lie Beitao and his son from the Lie family.

For this kind of self-righteous calculation, Lie Beitao is even more disdainful.

What kind of response will the strong people of Zhenguo give you? Impossible. The Liejia is an ant, and the Zhenguo is an eagle. Do you expect the ants to kick their legs, and the goshawks above the sky will respond?

After he and Mao Zhengdao met, neither of them spoke, and Mao Zhengdao raised his wine glass: "Drink!"
